About this Location

Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of Downtown Binghamton, the parking facility along Henry Street (near the intersection of State and Chenango Streets) provides convenient, dependable parking for visitors, commuters, and eventgoers alike. This facility is laid out as a spacious open-air surface lot with straightforward drive aisles and clearly designated stalls. Because it is an open-air surface lot without low overhead structures, it offers unlimited vertical clearance, making it an excellent option not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for oversized pickup trucks, large passenger SUVs, conversion vans, and commercial service vehicles that might otherwise struggle with low garage ceilings.

The Binghamton Intermodal Transit Center (Greater Binghamton Transportation Center) is also situated within easy walking distance, providing direct connections to Broome County Transit (B.C. Transit) local bus lines, campus shuttles, and intercity coach carriers such as Greyhound and Trailways.

Visitor & Driver Tips

While spaces are generally plentiful during standard weekday mornings, the lot fills up quickly on Friday and Saturday evenings and during Rumble Ponies home games. When attending events at Mirabito Stadium or the Arena, plan to arrive at least 30 to 45 minutes prior to game time to claim a preferred stall. Always ensure you note your license plate number before leaving your vehicle, as payment terminals and mobile apps require exact plate input. During winter snow storms, check local alternate-side parking advisories or snow emergency declarations to ensure uninterrupted parking.
